A walk along Arbat, Old Arbat and Smolenskaya

The Old Arbat is a famous pedestrian street in the historical centre of  Moscow. Nearby is New Arbat which also contain many shops and restaurants.  The Old Arbat has many historic buildings and numerous artists who have lived and worked in the street. The Old and New Arbat are both important tourist attractions. The Old Arbat contains a variety of lovely little cafes and some very overpriced souvenir shops.
